The weight capacity of the stock roof rack on your Jeep Grand Cherokee is surprisingly low, at around 150 pounds. It's important to remember that exceeding this by 20-30 pounds during highway driving is likely okay, but off-roading could pose a problem. You might want to utilize the Cherokee's total passenger and cargo load of a thousand pounds by shifting some of your gear inside. With a bit of weight management, you can pack a substantial amount of tents and backpacks for an exciting adventure into uncharted territory.

I've loaded up my 2001 Grand Cherokee with a total of 28 pieces of 2”x4”x10’ lumber, 4 sheets of 4’x8’x1/2” Sheetrock, and 4 sheets of 4’x8’x3/4” plywood. The weight calculations are approximately 10 lbs each for the 2x4 lumber, 50 lbs each for the Sheetrock, and 70 lbs each for the plywood. So, you can figure out the total weight by doing the math – have fun with it!

Here's a paraphrased and unique version of the text:
I successfully transported 8 pieces of 1/2 inch drywall on two 16-foot 2x10 joists without any issues. The only thing I needed to be cautious about was slowing down gently since the joists were closely positioned, to prevent everything from sliding forward. It was quite an experience!
